And she also has another business called Bella Fitness Group, which is what we’re going to be breaking down tonight. So, hello, Chaunda Walls. Hey there. Thank you so much for having me. Always, always. How are you doing today?I’m doing pretty good. Doing pretty good. Considering, you know, we’ve made it to 20. That’s right. That’s always a good thing.So, hey, let’s speak to our audience. Let us know that you say. All right. That’s all right. Let’s get into it a little bit. So can you tell us a little bit about your business so that everybody here understand what we’re doing tonight?Ok? Yeah. So I started the business in 2009.And so you thought it was a business that was blues.So this is Bella Fitness Group. So that’s like my first year that I’ve had for I guess that’s about 13 years now. But it started it was just something that happened because I had been well, this kind of a long story. So I’ll just kind of do a quick nutshell. But so I was married for like 18, 16 years. We had a family, three kids. And during that time, you know, after my last daughter was born, I had a really difficult childbirth, almost died. It was this whole thing, so traumatic. And so I suffered from depression, you know, postpartum depression at that time. And it just kind of more than it it lasted eight years. So coming out of the eight years of depression, within that time, I gained over one hundred pounds closer to like one hundred and thirty pounds or so during that time, so and so when I was just completely miserable. It was eight years was just like misery. But I was a stay at home mom. I was a kid. I was married. It was just this whole thing and that was great. And it is a blessing to be able to do that. But I knew that there was more that I was supposed to do with my life and that I had so many things inside of me that I didn’t want to die before I got them out. Right. So I was depressed. I recognize that. And one day it was literally like a day, just a random day. I read an article and something clicked for me and I realized, hey, you need to get healthy and this is a way to do it. And it was it was this book. It was by Bob Greene. It was called The Best Life Diet. But he used to be Oprah’s trainer. And I tell the story so many times when she got, like, really small, like years and years ago. You remember that guy.So you kind of like Oprah in a way like this. But reading this book for me wasLike he became, you know, my sensei almost when it was when he was just but his book was just talking about eating in the way that God intended for us to eat. For example, it was not this diet. It was not this crazy thing, because I tried all of that. I had done every single thing, starvation, laxative, abuse, you know, just like the what is the Cabbage Patch cut cabbage soup diet. Like, I had done everything right. Nothing really worked. So anyway, that happened. I read it. I got it. And I just started it one day and I started walking. It ended up losing hundred twenty pounds. It took me eight months. So my story of the weight loss was featured back then in the Atlanta Journal newspaper and it went well, you know, they had a weight loss success story and some like and they may still have it, but someone to just sit that article in.
